- Interview - "Ultimately you learn the most by simply living." - @jobreuten . . Read Job's story on The Folks Magazine . . . #quote #advice #entrepreneurship #artist #actor #amsterdam #interview #longread #thefolks #thefolksofamsterdam #getinspired #lifestyle
- Interview - Q: Keith Haring’s motto was: "Art is for everybody". What’s yours? A: "I don’t have one single motto. I think everyone’s capable of making art, except that some don’t know it yet. A bricklayer is an artist, too, in my opinion. I see art in really broad terms: it’s not all painting; there’s art in cooking, photography, interior design, making love, talking, observing ... Life is full of art, and everyone’s an artist." - @jobreuten . . .

- Interview - Q: What’s the most surprising thing you’ve learnt to date? A: "I’m now 43, yet I feel no different from how I did at 18. I remember that I used to doubt the accuracy of older people’s memories whenever I heard them reminiscing. But age has nothing to do with it, and the realization has made me understand why it’s possible to remain in love, or to fall in love again. A 70-year-old woman falling in love glows with just as much joy, or is just as nervous, as a 20-year-old. It’s come as a pleasant surprise, that insight." - @jobreuten . . .

➖Interview➖ Q: Social involvement is a key part of your projects. Is this one of an artist’s tasks?  A: “Yes, I think artists should make stuff happen. While politicians blow hot air, we can generate buzz. Significant change is possible and within easy reach, especially in the Netherlands; we’ve got computers in every school, we all have passports and are free to travel. I can’t stand apathy. As I said at the start of this interview, everyone is an artist, so this applies to everyone.” - @jobreuten . . .

- Interview - "I’ve visited more than 50 countries to date. I hitched-hiked across the Netherlands and Europe as a teenager, and traveled for nine months across South America, Africa and Asia with my brother, Joris-Jan. We had little money, so we bartered my painting skills. I’d paint a restaurant wall for a meal, for instance. When you do something like that, or lend a hand in similar fashion, you’re immediately accepted as a local. " @jobreuten, artist/actor . . .
